Scotch Tape Physics

In 1953 Russian scientists claimed they could create X-Rays from a roll of tape. The rest of the world scoffed. 55 years later, a U.C.L.A. scientist was able to duplicate the effects.

In fact, 3M's Scotch tape was able to produce enough X-ray photons to take an X-ray of a finger. The trick to the experiment is to unwind the tape in a vacuum. Something about the atmosphere inhibits the X-ray creation process, so don't worry about over exposure while you scrapbook.
